"This pocket book is a great resource for anyone working in a shop. It’s designed for metal workers and machinists, but the information contained within comes in handy in lots of situations. Best of all, it’s durable enough to survive in a shop environment, and every page is coated in a glare-free laminate that resists tearing and won’t get all filthy."

The little black book looks like it would be really handy for a shop that deals with lots of welding, or metal goods. It might not be as practical in a theatre shop that does welding every once and a while. A TD might find this as a handy resource when they are engineering structures.
How many of these books exist now? Let me know which one is the best, and then next week i'll go out and buy the next best one.
I've got 2 books that i consider technical resources, one is a book on shop mathematics, the other is about structual design using physics and calculus. I've yet to get a book with ratings and standards, but then again, that what manufacturer spec. sheets, the internet, and notes from class are for.
Yeah, I might add this to my list of technical books to get this christmas, in addition to the new stage mechanism book. Really I just need to get a distributor's book of steel and such but that is a bit dependent on each distributor in your area. I guess though most of that is standard, so it couldn't hurt either way. This reminds me that we need to create a new price list for PTM to work from. We need to update it frequently, but its better than the made up numbers that showed up the other day in the excel document. I hate spending so much money on books that I just want to reference from time to time, but they end up being quite useful. Probably most notably right now is the backstage handbook when it has been stolen by my roommate.
